    right size of excavator for septic tank replacement

    Nothing to be sorry about at all.I'm just happy to be part of it.In my last post the last line should have read "and leaving it in the ground filled makes sense". My fingers are faster than the brain at times.

    right size of excavator for septic tank replacement

    I have a question about the tank removal. I have seen where most fill it with sand.Is that something to do with enviroment? I remove them in eastern Canada,and all i have to do is pump them out and crush /break up the old tank (usually metal) for easy removal. Just wondering.

    Pin Grabber

    Craig is in Hartland a few hours away.But the price is higher than i can justify.Thats why i was looking for something used, from maybe a burned unit.I just contacted a local fabricator/welder and he is looking at making something up that will grab the boom pin and once you roll the attach in...

    New Holland EC130 stopped swinging

    I have a few pics to hopefully explain better.In the two pics you can see the container with the red cap on it mounted up under the grill.In the overhead pic, you can see the smaller rubber line the runs up by the tool box and attaches under the motor lines

    John Deere 450C when hot won't backup

    no. it pulls hard ahead in both ranges. Just gets hot and won't pull in reverse and it is always in a bad place to go forward in.

    New Holland EC130 stopped swinging

    It is just a small container simular to what holds brake fluid on a car with hydraulic oil in it.It hooks up by a hose from the bottom of the container that goes to the top of the reduction. The gear box is full of gearoil.From what i could see,the motor fits into a cavity where the swing brake...

    Under Greasing vs. Over Greasing a Trackhoe?

I pump pins and bushings until i see grease. The swing bearing, swing gear and pinion are different. Our...
